Features

Features

V-NANDSamsung's flash memory is fabricated using an innovative 3D V-NAND architecture, which stacks 32 cell layers on top of one another. The result is higher density and higher performance using a smaller footprint and a breakthrough in overcoming the density limits of conventional planar NAND.

Efficient Power ManagementThe efficient design of the 850 PRO enables you work longer and more productively. Boasting the lowest power consumption of any SSD when in standby or full use, the 850 PRO uses less energy while maintaining class-leading performance. The 850 PRO fully supports Device Sleep mode for Ultrabook, consuming only 2 milliwats (2mw) of power in its ultra low power state. Plus, its low power DDR2 cache memory provides high performance while consuming up to 30 percent less power when active and up to 93 percent less power when idle than typical DDR2 or DDR3 memory.

Extended Data SecurityProtect your PCs hardware and personal data when you take your laptop on the road with the 850 PRO's Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology. The drive includes an AES-256-bit hardware-based, full disk encryption engine that secures your data without the performance loss often experienced with software-based encryption. The 850 PRO's advanced security complies with the TCG Opal v2.0 standard and is compatible with the Microsoft eDrive IEEE 1667 protocol. Plus, you can quicklyerase data or sanitize your drive with the crypto erase feature.

Dynamic Thermal Guard ProtectionThe 850 PRO includes Dynamic Thermal Guard protection, which sustains performance while minimizing the risk of overheating. This feature monitors and maintains the drive's optimal operating temperature with a throttle feature that automatically drops the SSD's temperature to protect your data while ensuring the responsiveness you expect.

Enhanced RAPID modeSamsung's Magician software enables RAPID Mode for up to 2x faster performance* by utilizing unused PC memory (DRAM) as a high-speed cache. The newest version of Samsung Magician supports up to a 4GB cache on a system with 16GB of DRAM.

Improved Energy EfficiencyThe 850 EVO delivers significantly longer battery life on your notebook* with a controller designed and optimized for 3D V-NAND that supports Device Sleep for Windows at a highly efficient 2mW. The 850 EVO supports 25% better power efficiency than the 840 EVO during write operations thanks to ultra-efficient 3D V-NAND only consuming half the energy than that of traditional Planar 2D NAND.* Compared to standard hard drive & previous generation SSDs

Rating: 5/5Love this new CPU

This review is from: CPU INTEL|CORE I5 4690K 3.5G 6M R Configurator

Pros: It has been 7 years since I had a new desktop computer. This with a new ASUS motherboard was a joy to put together and the speed is like another world compared to my old HP media computer which had failed.

Cons: Don't really have any cons. Everything went together easily and started without a hiccup.

Rating: 5/5Works as expected (fast, cool, quiet)

Pros: -Plenty fast. Was tempted to pay the premium for an i7, but this is crushing everything I throw at it, so not needed.-Very quiet. I had to open my case to verify it was on.

Cons: -In the installation, the power cable for the fan was surprisingly difficult to organize to ensure it would not hit its own fan during operation. I eventually tie-wrapped it to another nearby cable to ensure it never accidentally got tangled up in the fan.-Pricier than AMD brands.

Other Thoughts: -I chose this because I didn't want to have to worry about cooling much and I wanted good power. Worked on both counts.

Rating: 4/5Cpu is great, the fan and heatsink are not.

This review is from: CPU INTEL|CORE I5 4690K 3.5G 6M R Configurator

Pros: CPU: This cpu is awesome, it runs through primegrid apps almost 10 times faster than the w3690 xeon it replaced. It will even run gta v on the embedded gpu, not high settings or resolution, but it works while I'm waiting for my video card. Got 105% cpu score on userbench.Motherboard: asus z97-e has a good layout, everything works as expected, overclocking is super simple, performance is right where it should be. no complaints. Samsung evo 250g ssd is awesome. already had one, now I gots me two, did that on purpose.

Cons: The stock fan/heatsink is really the pits. Running all stock voltages and speeds the temp shoots to 99c in under a minute while running primegrid on all cores. Useless. And the fan motor is so wimpy, it only spins up to 2000rpm max, what a joke. Was able to convert my lga1366 beast cooler onto this guy and now it rocks. 4.7ghz, 80c on primegrid all cores maxed 100%, no sweat!

Other Thoughts: This cpu is great bang for the buck if you've already got or planned on purchasing a cooling solution, as the one it ships with is not for serious use, maybe some office apps or web surfing. But it is the K variant so Intel new the stock fan is really just an after thought, knew it would be replaced anyway.
